      Top management impact

      Vice president
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Solid mission and work that makes you proud to be associated with organization. Staff often feel under siege by top management so it’s nice to have informal support from other staff members.

      Cons

      Top management seems to relish keeping staff feeling uneasy about their value to organization and certainty of having a job. Top executives often don’t let projects take root. The HR team is very weak. Too many tales, for too long, of applicants never hearing from AARP and little to no serious grooming for existing staff to be promoted.

      Leadership is Toxic

      Vice president
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The salaries and bonuses are very high.

      Cons

      The CEO and CFO are very hard to work with, unapproachable, and intimidate by fear. There has been a tremendous amount of turn over from head of EVP of HR, EVP of Legal General Council, EVP of Innovation... and more. Lots of infighting and business model conflict. They also shut down their entire Life Reimangined platform and 50+ people were let go. A culture that allows people to be rude and disparaging to one another. This all started when the new CEO was hired in 2015.

      Great name recognition - little advancement

      Director
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great name recognition and mission - especially for Government Relations and policy related issues. Some staff really care about the mission

      Cons

      Very little chance to advance beyond middle management. Innovation is lacking with senior management. For an organization opposed to ageism - they often practice reverse ageism and inherently are against the advancement of younger employees.
